It's on the list: http://listserv.fnal.gov/scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind1407L=scientific-linux-usersT=0P=15184 The weird way it was sent (via another list?) and the fact that the SL lists lack list-id and such probably cause any filter you might have to miss it though.
Re: mirror.anl.gov: softwarecollections python2.7 numpy install issue

Is it expecting easy_install under /etc/scl/prefixes? No, it's expecting the command to be quoted, which I had missed. scl enable python27 'easy_install numpy' You can enable multiple things at once, so with the unquoted cmd it thinks easy_install is another thing to be enabled. Still, that doesn't seem to be related to the problems you're having.

For some material you'll probably need packages not available in the sl repos. If so, enable suitable third party repo (most likely rpmforge, available via yum-conf-rpmforge). gstreamer-ffmpeg is a likely candidate for most needs (probably... possibly... maybe).

Re: usb memory stick with dual linux boot
On 2013-07-20 23:56, g wrote: greetings, i would like to set up a usb memory stick with dual linux boot. livecd-iso-to-disk (from livecd-tools) might be a good starting point. Flags to pay special attention to (when reading the man page and/or script source) include --multi and --livedir. You'll probably have to edit some syslinux / extlinux config, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Not exactly straightforward, but the best I could find (wanted to sample XCFE/KDE/GNOME3/LXDE versions of fedora). Might need a more recent version than what's available in SL (dunno when the multi-stuff got added), and unless you're running a DE on SL, you probably don't want to install it from the sl repo (dependencies apparently include firstboot, among others...). Should be possible to figure out dependencies for just that tool and get the script from the git repo on fedorahosted.org (or something).
